Got Seoul!

We had a good day again. Last night we didn't get as much crib time but he did sleep on us in shifts. He was happy and smiley all day. Here are some pictures of our time at Eastern Welfare Society in Seoul.

It was raining when we arrived in Korea. Korean drivers don't slow down for rain! And...they watch t.v. while they drive. Our driver had chosen a soap opera for our ride home.

Power shopping in Seoul. It was already 10pm and the store was closing. I of course rose to the challenge!

This is the sign in front of the welfare society where all of the babies spend their first months.

This is the baby ward. We didn't go in because they are worried about swine flu...and limiting visiting.

The kitchen for families to use during stay (if you are there more than one day).

Front entrance of Eastern

Cool carwash as we walked around Eastern. Probably not in the top sightseeing stops of Seoul, but it's about as good as we got.

This is a few blocks from where we stayed.



We went to a little bakery near Eastern before we got to meet Erik. We found out that they have this same chain in our town!





Breakfast just before we were to meet Erik (before they told us to come back in an hour).


The first time Erik played with Mommy!!

Playing with Daddy





"Most uncomfortable bed ever"


We got in the van and foster dad handed Erik to me. It was exciting to start our journey home, but sad to watch foster mom and dad have to say goodbye.

Ready to fly!
I think I look pretty good for only sleeping about an hour up to this point!
He did great in the airport for two hours. He never cried and played all over the filthy floor. There were several tears on the plane (his and mine). More tomorrow!
Correction:
They're called 'chryslides'

What a whirlwind of a trip, huh? Wow, I couldn't imagine doing a turnaround trip like that :) Erik is such a cutie! So happy for your family that you are all now home and happy together. YAY!!
